Abstract

Chaos. Randomness. Utter unpredictability.

These sound like trouble, but they are actually tools that you can use to make software more reliable, solve paradoxes, test theorems and much, much more.

With a few slides, a bit of live coding and a lot of fun I will show how you can become a Lord of Chaos. Specifically, I will show how you can use randomness to:

- Solve the Monte Hall problem and explain your answer

- Do precise proximity searches on geo-hashed databases

- Safely build machine learning models in the open to solve problems on secure data
